I'm running the oxygen H-Boot with S-Off. Yeah i tried with no apps and still had reboots.

Will stick with 2.1.3 for now
[Desire Android Development] Maix27:
Is any one experiencing randomly changing brightness settings. It isn't flickering, just the brightness keeps changing every few seconds. I know I can set the brightness, just wanted to see if it was a bug.
[Desire Android Development] juicejuice:
I can confirm the OJ Wake hack.. thing.. works with 2.1.4. I flashed it after booting 2.1.4 for the first time and trackball wake works great :D
[Desire Android Development] jonnysparkplugs:
I had the same problem. I updated my oxygen hboot and did a full wipe and everything works great now
[Desire Android Development] karoodee:
What exactly does this do? Isn't this part of the Facebook-App?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Sure, you should be good to go.
[Desire Android Development] jonnysparkplugs:
Google removed the functionality and doesn't let the app sync with your contacts. I think it still worked for the nexus one though. It was removed for the nexus s (and possibly the source this rom is built from).

It all started over a row over data sharing months ago
[Desire Android Development] Dollitle:
Just update to 2.1.4

BUT IT looping on boot

You may need to update your oxygen hboot? that's what i did and it worked great...
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
plus giving some detailed information makes helping much easier :-P

Apologies, missed that in the changelog... will fix it now.

directly from alpharev.nl website:

Nandroid backup in recovery.

Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

'fastboot erase cache'

Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Pretty sure his comment was directed at the previous guy ;) Posted up about bootloops with absolutely NO information.

M.
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
Then it is probably the old version of the HBoot? Try installing the new HBoot and try the update again.
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Lol, yeah. Thats probably why I qouted him :p
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Could someone please point out the correct path for Boot animation. I am copying my bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/ but nothing changes. Same if I try to place it in /system/media/
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Put it in /data/local and it will survive updates too.

M.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:

/data/local
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
And that, my friends, is why I love this community so much :D

Thanks! Booting Particle Green as we speak.
[Desire Android Development] :
The easiest way to do it would be to sign the zip with the public testkey, which is recognised by the recovery.

The recovery doesn't need knowledge of any of the other keys which we use, as they are only used when the system is booted.
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
I have some serious problems with the HBoot...somehow the new flashed HBoot doesn't seem to take over, although it shows me in the fastboot-screen.

For more information:

1. I downloaded Oxygen HBoot a while ago and flashed it (the one with /system being 90MB)

2. Worked fine until Oxygen just didn't fit anymore

3. I reflashed HBoot, everything was fine at glance. But I also removed some apps from the Oxygen-ZIP, so I didn't check on the actual partitions since it worked well...

4. I flashed 2.1.4, which worked fine as well for some time.

5. I flashed a custom UOT-Theme, and suddenly I couldn't boot anymore. When I checked, I saw that /system was filled 100%, so it was full.

6. I downloaded the new revision of the Oxygen HBoot and flashed it, fastboot tells me it was installed, and everything seems to be fine...

7. I boot in recovery, mount /system and check again with "df" if the partition-sizes matches (100MB /system), but it doesn't. It is still at 90MB, I tried to reflash several times, cleared the storage, reformatted /system, but still - it keeps telling me that it is only 90MB big. Unfortunately I cannot boot my backup now, because there is space missing in /system (it only works if I whipe my data completely and begin new, but I really want to solve this issue once and for all). The badest thing being that I cannot restore my nandroid...

Help? Has anyone an idea why this keeps happening?

I'm of course S-OFF, I have PVT3 and fastboot keeps telling me that everything is allright and how it should be.

Edit:

The nandroid backup was taken while everything was working well.

Any way to get MS exchange support for security policies?

Hi there, great ROM only one thing for me and I guess a fair few other users....

When I try and connect to my work email server I get the following...

"this server requires security features that your phone does not support"

I can connect fine on any Froyo roms but no Gingerbread ones.

Cyanogen are looking at it:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6359-exchange-policies-not-supported/

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3172

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6099

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6101

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6100

but I was not sure if I had to wait for them to cook it and you then base off their ROM or whether you are able to fix it in the mean time.

I'm sure there are other big priorities for you, but it would be great for a growowing band of exchange users if you could look at this!

Continue your great work.... I always in awe at how ROM builder can manage to kepp on top of all of the requirements!!!

Kind regards,

J
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
The rom is really great but auto-brightness is a nightmare: it's often too dark and when there's a light change the brightness step is too big, so it pass from light to dark in few seconds and then switch back.

There's an alternative in market?

Also, I have GPS issue, it closes after satellites fix, and I need to disable and then enable it.
[Desire Android Development] gazbea:
TouchDown for Android does the trick nicely... What I always use. Much better than the built in Mail app
[Desire Android Development] herrvorragend23:
According to your GPS issue, have you already found the oxygen issue bug tracker? There is help ..

[Desire Android Development] imopen:
thanks man, I missed the bug tracker. Just pushed, tonight I'll try it ;)

so the only thing that works not very well it's the auto-brightness :)
[Desire Android Development] roalex:
Simply point squisher to the aosp key while keeping your private keys under security for the apk's , just have to put the aosp key somwere ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattg:
Just one thing to note, pushing the gps.bravo.so file is fine if you need the gps only for navigation apps where the screen is always on. Its no good if you want to use location tracking apps like runkeeper/my tracks etc as it causes the phone to reboot when it goes to sleep.

Agree with you on the auto-brightness. Really would like to have the custom settings back. The lowest brightness is a little to dark for my eyes and the constant changing is annoying.

What Radio and RIL works best for this ROM?

What RIL is built into the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
Okay...this is a really difficult issue for me... can anyone please help me?

I flashed the new HBoot layout of alpharev.nl over the old one (/system 90MB -> 100MB). Now...if I check the partition size while I am in recovery, df returns "90MB" for /system. If the device however is running and booted into a ROM it shows me 100MB? What the hell?

I cannot flash anything, if I change anything at all my device stops booting. I cannot fix this issue... anyone here?

Edit:

That is not true either... I cannot boot into a ROM as soon as I boot the recovery and mount /system there. What the hell is wrong with my device?
[Desire Android Development] markdavey:
RIL that is embedded in the ROM is: HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G (July 16 2010, 21:52:13)

It works fine, I see no reason to change it. As far as I am aware there are only 2 RILS that are from GINGERBREAD AOSP ROMS and these are:

HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G (Nov 2 2010,17:17:45)

HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G (July 16 2010, 21:52:13)

The others are from Sense ROMS and although they may work, there may be issues.

I have no issues using the latest radio (in my signature) with the above RIL. All radio fuctions (WiFi, GPS, 2G/3G etc.) work fine and battery life is excellent.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Strangely, I have the exact same radio with Oxygen 2.1.4 original RIL and I lose data connection quite often especially when I use the Market and Facebook!

What could it be?
[Desire Android Development] Leonidas300:

Battery life awesome

i use to flash the hboot with ***.img on the phone (not with fastboot) with the bootloader. did you tried to flash it twice and then do a nandroid restore/ rom install? btw what does the bootloader say, which hboot's installed?
[Desire Android Development] kellyj1978:
Hi, my GPS is not working correctly, when using maps app and plan a navigation route. GPS just searches satalites and never actually finds one. But if i run gps fix app from the market first it loads every time. Does anyone know of a fix that i can use so i dont have to run the gps fix first?

:@)

can choose between oxygen and gingervillain rom. whats the advantages of oxygen rom over gingervillain?
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Very old radio which he recommends! So its trouble with the newest radio on Oxygen?
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
not everybody experience this reboot. i always use gps for tracking my run with runkeeper/endomondo/micoach (screen almost always off) and never had reboots with the gps lib from htc leak. it completely solve the gps issue i always had with oxygen since 2.0.
[Desire Android Development] herrvorragend23:
I just tried a 20 minute walk with My Tracks and had no reboot. Screen was off.
[Desire Android Development] jazzk:
Track change - IIRC in older versions of Oxygen that had it (Froyo I guess, or it might have been OpenDesire), the track change worked on third party apps like PowerAmp.

It seems like the current implementation no longer works in PowerAmp. I haven't tried any other third party music players (PlayerPro etc) so don't know if it not working is limited to PowerAmp only.

Has anybody successfully used long press on volume to change tracks on PowerAmp in 2.1.4?

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Does what it should with winamp,did you enable the headset/headphone settings?

[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
The *.img method doesn't work for me, it always fails on device verification, but up until now I had no problems with custom HBoots.

I tried to flash it twice, tried to reflash recovery...nothing works.

What works though is the method through fastboot itself - using "fastboot flash system system.img", etc. and the files from the backup it works out, because I never have to go into recovery, but when I do it wrecks it ;)

This is really...strange. I will go back, unroot my device completely and the come back...maybe that works out.

Edit:

After unroot - still same result.

The Boot-loader actually states "alpharev oxygen r2"
[Desire Android Development] libetz:
yes, it works.
[Desire Android Development] jazzk:
Doh! It's been so long that I've used volume button track change that I forgot PowerAmp had a setting for it that needed enabling. Working now, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
But that's the one coming with the OTA update that you get when you would have been unrooted ;)
[Desire Android Development] markdavey:
some radios work better with different carriers. Best to just try some others and see how you get on
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
But only if Power Amp isn't in the focus (homescreen active, lockscreen, etc.) otherwise you just will pull up your volume.
[Desire Android Development] Soul-Seer:

[Desire Android Development] J_B204:
OK, very strange behaviour that I've never seen before.

Updated to 2.1.4 without too many problems, flashing directly over 2.1.3. Have the latest Hboot for oxygen, other than that nothing special.

Whenever the market says I have an update to an app, I click to download (I always do manual to keep an eye on permissions). App update downloads with no problems and then when it starts to install the phone reboots.

The reboots starts up normally (doesn't go into bootloop) - happens with a variety of apps (but not all).

Very strange, can't really pinpoint what is going on - so any help would be appreciated (I know I haven't given a huge amount of info so if anyone needs any more just shout)

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
remove market history + cache (twice if needed) ;)
[Desire Android Development] marcelotorres:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Desire Android Development] mgmate:
Could you please tell me what exact problem you have and what stock rom with UNLOCK HBOOT did you installed?

If it is ramdom reboots (one a day) please, please, give step by step procedure you follow to solve it. I currently have the same issue with GV2.6, so it seems to be my phone, but not happening with stock rooted version (but then no ginberbread and no gtalk free international calls...).

This problem is driving me crazy...

[Desire Android Development] gazza.ladra:
Is there a possibility to enable wireless n with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Bumble99:
So something I have been meaning to get to the bottom of ... I installed CM7 on my wife's Motorola Defy and everytime I flash a new ROM I have to use a built in app called "Baseband Switcher" and choose a baseband that fits my carrier/country. I have always wondered why I have never had to do something like this with Oxygen on the Desire (it doesn't even have a Baseband selector app)?

By not doing this on the Defy the phone gets hot and uses a lot more battery and certain things do not work.

We can't flash new kernels to the Motorola Defy and the explanation is due to the locked bootloader, but doesn't the Desire also have a locked bootloader? So how can we flash kernels to the Desire when the Motorola phone cannot?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Desire does not have locked bootloader, though I think the desire s does so its easy enough to get confused

I don't know about the baseband thing but may also be related to bootloaders, but that's just a guess. Flashing custom roms is different on every device.

M.
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
Our Desire is only B and G compatible... unless you have soldering skills to swap out the WiFi chip, connecting to an N network, won't happen...(no matter the ROM)
[Desire Android Development] Bumble99:
Could be that the Desire has different models for different frequencies. Like you and I would have the 8183 model (850/2100) and most other users would have 8181 (900/2100). But the Motorola may support different frequencies in the one model that you change using the Baseband Selector. So we have no need for this in Oxygen.

I can tell you that putting Gingerbread on the Motorola made me appreciate how easy we have it with the Desire !!
[Desire Android Development] billak:
Can't update the voice search app. What's wrong? Anyone else experience the same?

Sent from my Oxygen powered HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] d0msen:
updated just fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
I have a pleasant surprise for you! One may not need soldering skills! ;) The HTC specifications for desire do not whisper anything about the IEEE 802.11 n standard. However, HTC Desire has a Broadcom BCM 4329 chipset dealing with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile telephony and FM radio. This chipset does support IEEE 802.11 a, b and n. When you have some time to kill, have a look at the XDA Wiki page dedicated to HTC Desire and to the Broadcom page dedicated to BCM 4329. Handling the n standard is enabled or disabled by the kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Minux31:
Hello !

And firts a big Thank you to Adam, very great work (I started with OpenDesire)

I've got a problem with 2.1.4 (after a full wipe and clean install) : the phone doesn't charge when plugged with my car adapter.

When plugged with AC adapter or on USB with official cable, it works, but not in my car with my généric adapter. I precise that before it was working with 2.1.3 and previous versions ...

Anyone with the same problem ?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] :
It's been enabled in the broadcom driver for like....ever.

But the hardware only supports 2.4GHz, not 5GHz.
[Desire Android Development] :
I told you how to fix it about 2/3 weeks ago, but you chose to follow a different path, then come back again and blame the ROM for your reboots, which is why you still have the issue. Lol.

Flash a RUU to restore to stock then go through the rooting and S-OFF process again.

I don't think you need step by step instructions to do that, go search and read some threads if you need help with it.
[Desire Android Development] gazza.ladra:
Thanks for the info thalamus. I just wanted to make sure it is there. I had no idea how to check if the n mode is on. I really like your kernel btw
[Desire Android Development] Mikroft:
Stuck on boot screen.

S-OFF with oxygen r2 hboot. Pvt3

Wiped all data, cache, and dalvik cache.

After flashing and rebooting it always hangs at the htc splash screen.

Using cwr 3.0.0.5.

I was able to nandroid back to cm7 just fine although I dealt wanted to try this rom.
[Desire Android Development] dziegiel:
In 2.1.4 n mode is on. My Desire is connected to AP with 72Mbps
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Maybe a bad download if it was still hanging after all that.

M.
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
Boot up to recovery and open a adb-shell to it, then do:

"mount /system"

"df -h"

What does the output tells you? How big is your /system-partition?

I have this really weird problem...after flashing HBoot Oxygen r2 by alpharev, my ROM tells me that /system is 100MB big, while the recovery module keeps saying it is only 90MB big. Since I have 91MB of /system, I cannot boot my phone as soon as I mount the /system-partition in recovery anymore.

I aswell have a PVT3-device.
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
http://www.htc.com/asia/product/desire/specification.html

No mention of the N standard on their website. Maybe we all got different versions in each region?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Read what he wrote again - HTC do not state that it's compatible but the hardware can do it if it's coded into the kernel - which it is on Oxygen.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Mikroft:
Silly me. I forgot to format the system and boot as well. Boots fine now. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
You can see that in "Client status" in web configuration page of your home wifi AP (if it is WiFi N capable). For example I can see my phone there it actually is "N" client.

So yes Oxygen + Desire is WiFi N capable but as stated before "N" in 2,4GHz band only not 5GHz.
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
You're telling me HTC have built an N standard phone but chose to omit this significant feature because they would have to "tweak" the kernel? Wow it sounds like the engineers at HTC should talk to sales department more...Duely noted...
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
This is not news.... look at the size of our internal memory :P

M.
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
You should know, manufacturers tend to go by the smoothest way, I mean to offer product working as smoothly as possible.

Due to not fully standartized WiFi N (it is still called DraftN, LiteN or so) they did not want any home AP incompatibility problems users could meet. And also it is said that WiFi N takes more power from battery (I am not sure about this but it is likely)
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
News to me and I'm sure I'm not alone.. =P
[Desire Android Development] shayne77:
You see countless other network devices [APs, modems etc] advertising the N standard. I don't think its because standard is "not fully standardised" N standard has been around for years...
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
Sorry for the banal question :rolleyes:

But I have noticed, plugging the phone as usb archive, that the ext3 partition contains, by default, apks.

So, apks are moved on ext3 while dalvik-cache remains on internal memory, right?

TIA
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
You are correct :) That's why there are still advantages in moving to the oxygen hboot even if you do use A2SD as you basically CAN'T fill the internal memory.

Moving dalvik to SD does have some performance issues so it's not on by default.

M.
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
And If I hadn't the ext3 partition on SD, apks would be on internal memory too... So, it's always suggested to have an ext3 partition on SD, internal memory fills more slowly, right again? :)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Yeah without the EXT partition you are just back to the 147Mb that HTC give you as stock... which just isn't enough. For normal usage with a normal amount of apps you need to really go to the oxygen hboot, or use the EXT3 partition... you can even do both together if you want.

I personally run both, but moreso just as a testing this as i do a localised mod of oxygen for my phone provider... would just use the hboot alone otherwise - plenty of space for me.

M.
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
I'm running also CM7 hboot, because is supported from many rom's developer, included Sense 3 one ;)

But now I'm stuck with Oxygen :)

Last question (I promise :D ), using EXT3 on SD makes useless to use system A2SD? Or somewhat of internal memory is moved on FAT partition?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
CM7 hboot isn't actually a bad way of doing things, it's a nice balance between internal memory and mutiple rom compatbility... i have no gripes with it not being all "oxygen" branded ;)

But yeah, it's pretty pointless using the "move to SD" as well as EXT3 partition.

M.
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
I would like to know if the Oxygen 2.1.4 APKs are signed with different keys with respect to Oxygen 2.1.3. I have tried to change an image in framework-res.apk (using apktool 1.4.1 for decompiling/compiling) and all I have got was only FCs. My first guess goes to the changed keys...!
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Yes, they have been changed... Different method likely to be applied for the next release as it's had unexpected results, but read back through the thread since 2.1.4 dropped and there's plenty of posts about it.

M.
